Dugu Xian is in his thirties, as a commander, he is very young, with a tall posture, tough appearance, and a typical military temperament.

He was originally a son of the royal family of Xiaowan Kingdom, and traveled all over the world in his early years, serving in the army of the Central Plains and Beiting, although he did not read much military books, but through personal experience, he learned a lot of knowledge about leading troops to fight.

It's a pity that when he returned to Xiaowanguo, he found that he was useless at all.

Xiaowan is the most loyal vassal of Beiting, and the purpose of its existence seems to be only to prove that Beiting has no ambition to annex all the territories north of the Tianshan Mountains, and the king does not even have the right to designate guards at the gate of the palace, and all major and small affairs must be mastered by Beiting, and the standing army of the entire country is less than three hundred.

It was in this situation that when Jinpeng Fort hired Dugu Xian to secretly train an army, he agreed.

Like most people in the Western Regions, he did not have a clear concept of the state, and only wanted to find an opportunity to use his talents.

When Dubu King wanted to exterminate the snow bandits, Dugu Xian naturally served as the commander of the whole army, and he returned to the battlefield, thinking that he could achieve the title of "famous general" in one fell swoop, but he was disappointed.

During the entire siege, Duguxian and Jinpeng Fort were full of contradictions.

At first, he hoped to gather more troops and gain a three-fold or even five-fold advantage before launching an attack, but King Dubu sent an envoy and insisted on starting a battle immediately and quickly conquered the camp of the Great Snow Mountain.

The losses on both sides of that battle were heavy, but the camp was still in the hands of the Great Snow Mountain.

When the Dragon King sought an opportunity to negotiate peace in Biyu City, Dugu Xian felt that the time was ripe and decided to completely block all the roads on the outskirts of the valley and trap the swordsmen in the camp, but Dubu Wang did not agree.

Dubu Wang had other plans, but he was not prepared to tell a hired general.

In this way, he waited until the end of the cold winter, and King Dubu suddenly reinforced 5,000 soldiers and horses, merged with the original 5,000 people under his command, and asked him to capture the camp of Daxue Mountain within half a month.

The weather is cold, the road is muddy, this is not the best season to attack the camp, Dugu Xian originally wanted to send a team of men and horses to feint to attack the headquarters of the Great Snow Mountain thousands of miles away, luring the swordsmen out of the camp for a decisive battle, but the time was too short, it was too late to implement, he could only be ordered to attack.

After paying a huge price, he only broke through two inconsequential lines, and the deeper he went into the valley, the more difficult it became to attack.

Dubu Wang showed another face, no longer the humility and courtesy when he was hired, but a straightforward threat, Dugu Xian learned that if the fourth strong attack could not take the camp of the Great Snow Mountain, his position as commander and his head on the neck would not be kept.

There are quite a few Jinpeng killers in the barracks, and they do not accept the direct command of the commander, but are managed by a sword master who is trusted by the Dubu King.

These black-clothed men made Dugu Xian's neck swish cold, and he had to take a risk, bribing the traitors inside the Great Snow Mountain, and encouraging the swordsmen to leave the camp.

The people of the Western Regions all believe that the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain are rigid and tough, and they can't think of and will not participate in any conspiracy, but Dugu Xian found that as long as the right conditions are proposed, anyone can be bought, and the Great Snow Mountain swordsman is no exception.

As a result, the dragon king appeared and brought the surviving swordsman back to the camp at the most critical moment.

Dugu Xian felt that his whole life had been unlucky for the young man Dragon King, and a few hours later, two other young people made his life even more unlucky.

When he saw Shangguan Fei and Shangguan Hong for the first time, Dugu Xian was very happy, thinking that finding Duwangbu's two sons would be able to make up for the merits and make up for the unsatisfactory of the fourth strong attack, so he received the two very warmly, without a trace of caution.

He couldn't have imagined that in the middle of the night, these two people broke into the tent with a group of black-clothed killers, tied him up, and announced in public that he had colluded with the snow bandits.

Dugu Xian, like the Jinpeng killers, never thought that the two sons of the Dubu King were doing things for the Dragon King, because the Dubu King had already expressed strong dissatisfaction before, so everyone believed that the Nine Young Masters carried out the will of the King himself.

Shangguan Fei and Shangguan Hong declared that they would bring the defeated generals back to Jinpeng Castle, but after leaving the camp, they secretly changed direction and chased after the Dragon King, even at this time, Dugu Xian had not yet given birth to suspicions.

It wasn't until he met the Dragon King himself that the truth was finally revealed.

Dugu Xian felt that he was really a fool.

Now, facing the Dragon King, who was a decade younger than him, he hung his head listlessly, admitting defeat but not saying a word.

Outside the tent, a group of swordsmen blocked the door, all wanting to bite him to vent their anger, and it was under the command of this Dugu Xian that the army of Jinpeng Fort killed countless soldiers of the Great Snow Mountain.

In contrast, the son of Dubu Wang, who brought Dugu Xian to him, was quickly forgiven, and even made friends with some swordsmen.

In order to forbid others from entering the account, the Shangguan brothers sent a surprise that he wanted to interrogate this important captive alone.

Dugu Xian never looked up, and Gu Shenwei never spoke, just stared at him silently.

Dugu Xian couldn't stand it, from the commander of the first army to the prisoner of the ranks, his dignity had not completely disappeared, he raised his head, "It's a pity that I couldn't die on the battlefield." ”

"I don't think I've seen you on the battlefield. Gu Shenwei said, his tone was flat, but the irony was more obvious because of this.

"Hmph. Dugu Xian replied disdainfully, "War is not a group fight between swordsmen, generals have the duties of generals, and those who rush to the front may not be good generals." ”

Gu Shenwei didn't plan to talk about military strategy, but since he had already spoken, he decided to go straight to the point, "That's right, the general has the duty of a general, and killing the general can't disintegrate an army, so I plan to let you go." ”

Dugu Xian was so surprised that he couldn't speak, he had heard countless terrifying legends about the Dragon King, although he didn't believe it much, but he never had any hope of getting out of this tent alive, and then he understood, "What price do I have to pay." ”

"Tell me, who is the traitor in the Great Snow Mountain?"

Dugu Xian carefully looked at the young man in front of him for the first time, he originally thought that the Dragon King had sabotaged his plan several times, relying on luck and the wisdom of others, but now, he felt that the Dragon King might really be extraordinary.

His connection with the traitors in the Great Snow Mountain is extremely secret, not to mention that no one in the camp of the Great Snow Mountain knows about it, even in the Jinpeng Fort army.

After a fierce struggle between survival and dignity, Dugu Xian's heart suddenly brightened, "You won't ask a word from my mouth." ”

"Are you willing to sacrifice your life to protect a betrayer?"

"I don't care about him. Dugu Xian's words are also explained to himself, "But I will never betray my commitment to confidentiality." ”

Gu Shenwei sneered briefly, he didn't expect that this general was still a person who stood firm, he knew that as long as he pulled out the Wufeng Sword and put it on the opponent's neck, basically any position could be broken, but he thought about it, changed his mind, and felt that it was more useful.

"I'll let you go. ”

"Why?" Dugu Xian was even more surprised, and immediately thought of how stupid his question was, "You...... What tricks do you want to play?"

"That's right, I'll let you out, and then claim that you want to confess the name of the betrayer, I think, the betrayer will probably sneak away, I just need to send someone to ambush near the camp. ”

Dugu Xian suddenly felt that he looked very naïve in front of the Dragon King, and his cheeks turned red like a young man who didn't take things lightly, "You are ruining my reputation." ”

Gu Shenwei shook his head, "Just like you don't care about betrayers, I don't care about you at all, you are just a lackey of Jinpeng Castle, whether you live or die, it has no effect on Jinpeng Castle, as long as I can find a betrayer from the camp, I will use any trick." ”

The conversation ended, Gu Shenwei personally plugged Dugu Xian's mouth to prevent him from shouting and screaming, and then summoned two swordsmen and two swordsmen, and ordered the four of them to take the captives ten miles away and release them.

The dragon king's order was unexpected, although the four of them were surprised, they still obeyed the order, but the rest of the camp blew up, several patriarchs got up from the bed and came to question the dragon king with injuries, and even Tuo Nengya sent his cronies to inquire.

Gu Shenwei prepared a set of rhetoric, it was not a lie, but another purpose of his, "The Jinpeng Fort army has caught up, and it is blocking the road to Xiaoyaohai, are our people ready to go to war?"

Several patriarchs were stunned by the question, and Long Xiaoshi, the patriarch of Luoshen Peak, said: "Although the Dragon King is relieved, everyone is preparing, the men of the Great Snow Mountain can fight at any time, even if they are injured, they have to climb into the battlefield, but Dugu envy ......"

"I intend to let Dugu Xian see the preparations for war, and after I go back, he will ask the Jinpeng Fort army to hold the junction, but I don't want to fight, I want to take everyone to the south to avoid the enemy. ”

The patriarch stammered and fled in front of the enemy, which was not a tradition in the Great Snow Mountain.

"We can't let the enemy choose the battlefield. Gu Shenwei had to explain to them, "A true brave man will decide when and where to fight." ”

Since the dragon king has a plan, the patriarchs have nothing to say, and they retreat, and they still can't accept the decision of love in their hearts.

The traitor did not show his feet, and in front of the dragon king, he did not dare to insist on the idea of fighting.

Gu Shenwei was not in a hurry, and after feeling that Dugu Xian had already walked a few miles, he called in Shangguan Fei and Shangguan Hong, and gave the two of them a simple task.

Thanks to the efforts of the two brothers, a news soon circulated in the camp in a small area: Dugu Xian claimed that there was a traitor in the Daxue Mountain Army, and as soon as he was released, he would say his name.

In less than two hours, the soldiers escorting Dugu Xian will bring back conclusive evidence to the Dragon King.

Although the people in the camp are all warriors loyal to the Dragon King, they all belong to the Wufeng Patriarch and Tuo Nengya, so the news quickly spread to the top, some people don't take it seriously and regard it as an unfounded rumor, but some people are shocked and know that something is wrong.

Gu Shenwei secretly sent ten swordsmen and ten swordsmen, mixed configurations, to guard around the camp, report anything abnormal immediately, and ask them to keep it strictly confidential.

He didn't expect that the mole would give up fleeing and come directly to the door.
